Message	Over the past year Patrick Dean one our staff photographers here at Down Shift has been developing the "Diddy Boom", to allow us to get those sick motion shots you sometimes see in other publications,and while they may seem easy to attain at first, acheieving the same consistant results over and over again is not. Sure, you can hang out of a minivan at 50mph and shoot away, but thats not controlled nor is it easily reproducable... We needed a controlled method to attain the same results each time, and we finally perfected it last night in the form of the 2nd revision to the Diddy Boom; the Diddy Boom II. The Diddy Boom I Yesterday's & Last night's results with Patrick's Vue and my dirty Z; The Diddy Boom II.
